This artwork presents a riveting and modern interpretation of a classic playing card, rendered with an electrifying blend of abstract and figurative styles. Instantly, the viewer is drawn to the prominent depiction of the queen of clubs, which commands the upper and lower halves of the canvas in a dual reflection. The artist employs bold, expressive lines and an explosion of vibrant colors that breathe contemporary vitality into the traditional card motif. The figures of the queen are daringly asymmetrical, with one visage marked by strikingly red lips and intense eyes that capture the viewer's gaze, while the other figure mirrors the first with subtle differences that invite closer inspection. The background is a dynamic medley of shapes, dominated by the black club symbols that are interspersed with vivid swaths of color – crimson red, sky blue, and muted earth tones. These elements are rendered with broad, confident brushstrokes, reinforcing the artwork's energetic and spontaneous aura. Unique to this piece is the textural interplay; the artist employs a variety of media, possibly integrating mixed techniques such as acrylics, pastels, and perhaps collage, which contribute to a rich, layered effect. The rough, unfinished sections around the edges lend an unrefined charm, contrasting with the more meticulously detailed central figures. The use of space in the composition is particularly noteworthy. The figures seem to float against an expansive backdrop, giving a sense of depth and dimension that transcends the flat plane of typical playing cards. The inclusion of golden crown motifs adds a regal flair, framing the queens with an air of authority and grandeur. Bold, innovative, and evocative, this artwork reimagines a familiar subject with fresh, contemporary sensibilities, making it a standout piece that challenges and delights the visual senses.

Self-taught Australian artist Nathan Paddison creates raw, emotive paintings in the tradition of art brut, graffiti and abstract expressionism. Drawing inspiration from what he describes as his difficult past, Paddison paints with urgency and physicality, placing dynamic, gestural brushstrokes and ecstatic shapes on his worn and roughly textured surfaces. Scattered scraps of text intermingle with hints of human bodies and natural forms, suggesting interrupted histories, disjointed places, or perhaps a recently abandoned crime scene. Embedded in this drama is a keen sense of humor and a vivid sense of the emotional power of color. Paddison mixes traditional fine art media such as acrylics and pastels with everyday materials such as newsprint and markers to achieve a fresh, energetic and undeniably contemporary visual language.

An artwork by Jordy Kerwick sold for £85,000 at Phillips in London on March 4, 2022, after an estimate of £6,000. Both artists are from Australia and are self-taught. The Recent auction record for Nathan Paddison is US$ 12,800 for the painting “Ease Ear Thai Gore” achieved at Ravenel Auction House in Taipei, Taiwan in december 2021. It was surpassed in Spring 2022 also at Ravenel Auctions with USD 16,338 for one of the Tiger Paintings.

Nathan Paddison, born 1983,  is an artist whose works are all based on a sense of fun, self-expression and being himself without fear. He portrays subjects from his past, including his struggle with addiction, as well as pets and animals in his life. Paddison emphasizes color and energy, allowing the canvas to determine where the painting goes. He paints primarily with acrylics, but also uses enamels, pastels, markers, inks, oils, oil pencils.

Nathan’s strong line and approach to palette meld closely with the physicality and urgency in which he works. The impatience and powerful language forming in Nathan’s work is akin to compulsion rather than task. FRANK FLUEGEL GALLERY has his works since 2021 for sale.
